The Fold and Manchester City Women’s Football Club have today announced the launch of a new campaign – Preparation is Everything – aiming to boost female professionals’ self-confidence and help them prepare for career success.

Part of The Fold’s iconic Fold Woman series, which features a diverse cross-section of inspiring women from different backgrounds and industries, the new campaign spotlights five groundbreaking Manchester City Women and shares their phenomenal stories.

Since launching the series eight years ago, The Fold has shared the career journeys of hundreds of inspiring and multifaceted women, including their successes, setbacks, style and career advice.

Manchester City Women’s players Alex Greenwood, Deyna Castellanos and Laura Coombs feature in the latest campaign, alongside Chief Marketing and Fan Experience Officer of City Football Group, Nuria Tarré, MBA, and former England and Manchester City goalkeeper and current Project Officer at
Manchester City, Karen Bardsley.

These five remarkable women revealed the practical things they do to prepare for an important match or big moment.

From journaling to listening to music, they shared details on what helps them focus and get into the right mindset, as well as how dressing well has a positive influence on their mood
and confidence.

Manchester City midfielder, Deyna Castellanos said: “Dressing up gives me more confidence. It lifts my energy and my mood. It makes my day better, for sure.”

This is the latest activity that is part of The Fold’s partnership with Manchester City Women which officially launched in November 2022. The luxury workwear brand will continue to provide the team’s players and professionals with access to a selection of quality tailoring for another season, including the
bestselling Clever Crepe suits for when the players need to perform and feel their best.
